Religious beliefs are so absurd that they parody themselves!

1 When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

2 He began to teach them, saying:

THE BEATITUDES

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.

6 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.

7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the clean of heart
for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.

10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,*
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.

12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.h Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Mark 5

What is it when you can't tell if serious is parody? Yeah I read that through a couple times and I can't tell.

The premise:

Watching Despicable Me will turn kids into gay communists who want world dominion? The minions will make kids do drugs? A villain is a hero and that's bad? Wait wut? Aren't we supposed to be happy when bad people are reformed and do good things? Then something something about Obama... Well that's just a mess and it looks like something I would be able to write if I was high out of my mind and wanted to make fun of religious funDIES.
